Two new Easter Eggers, what cross breeds?

@RoostersAreAwesome, is there anything we can do to train him to be a good roo? Our flock will only be 4 hens.

You can’t train a cockerel to change his behavior towards your hens, but you can temporarily separate him if he is too rough with them. As for training him to be good with people, I wouldn’t do that unless he’s actually showing signs of aggression.

After a few weeks of visits and living in the same area (with safe space for them to escape), looks like they’ve been accepted into the flock.

No question now who’s what gender. Just thought I’d post an update on their coloring. The brown one is chasing the mosquitoes and other bugs.

Finally follow to this thread, the roo went to live with another flock of 20 hens and a rooster and he’s doing great. The hen laid her first egg, the blue-green one, no chicken farts, first one had a yolk.
